| Description of the problem | My emgine had just a little over 100000 miles on it and i almost got killed on the interstate. First i saw smoke coming from below and it looked like it was coming from the truck next to mine. Then i felt a stopping feeling in my tahoe. I moved quickly to the service lane and got it immediately to my mechanic. I have records of regular services to my vehicle. I had to replace the motor $7239. 49. I had my attorney look into it and my year plus a few other years had the same problem but the dealer never recalled it. |
